Salud Hip-Hop Miami-Once considered to be a dying
city, is fast on the verge
of becoming the next big urban Mecca. She has birthed record labels, Poe Boy Entertainment and Epidemic Music,
as well as successful producers, Cool
& Dre and Red Spyda,
and recently has
welcomed Shaquille O'Neal as
one of her own. Behold the rising Phoenix. In
the midst of her rise, Miami has also raised a son, destined to be the
ONE! His debut
album Sunny
Place, Shady People is a sure classic in the making, with
production by Cool & Dre, Red Spyda, Scott Storch, and an incredible
Bronx native Static serving as
the official in-house producer. More on SlyKat

Kasey
Anderson -
Wake Up! Americana After the release of Dead Roses, his
2004 album, Kasey Anderson
found himself suddenly on the radar of critics nationwide. Publications
from No Depression to Punk Planet praised Dead Roses and listed Anderson as "one to
watch in the alt.country scene" (Punk Planet). While such positive
critical response was not surprising given the quality of Anderson's
work (Matt Ryan of The Village Voice listed Dead Roses as the #5 album of 2004), it did
set expectations rather high when Anderson entered the studio to record
the follow-up to Dead Roses. More on

Jerry Cantrell - Anger Rising Active Rock Cantrell,
who sold 11 million albums
with Alice In Chains, has come into his own as a solo artist on
Degradation Trip, though he's still a part of and happy to connect
himself with the band he formed in the early halcyon days of the
'Seattle Scene.' "I didn't associate myself with Alice on Boggy
Depot"
he recalls. "I was stepping away from the
band, so there was a consciousness of not sounding like Alice. But
people's awareness fades," he realizes. "An Alice fan
would know my
name, but some guy who just likes the Alice tunes may not know me. I
found that when people saw the Alice InChains MTV Unplugged show, they
realized how much I sang, and how many of the songs I'd written in
Alice. More on Jerry Cantrell
